Why Aisha Buhari
Hurried To UK – Fayose
The Ekiti state governor,
Ayodele Fayose has maintained that he president is incapacitated and is surving
on life support.
The state governor while
speaking on the First Lady’s trip to UK noted that Aisha Buhari who was
allegedly denied access to the president during her first trip to UK has made
the journey just to confirm his claims.
Ayodele Fayose noted that
the hurried trip made by the First Lady was a clear cut confirmation that
President Muhammadu Buhari’s health had deteriorated.
He said: “It is six days
since I addressed the press and today, I still insist that the President is
indeed on life-support.”
While speaking through his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Ayo
Fayose while addressing some journalists in Lagos on Monday maintained that
“The worsen condition of the President’s health necessitated the hurried trip
of our First Lady, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari to London and it is hoped that
she will have the courage to tell Nigerians the truth this time around.”
He added that “no one is
interested in President Buhari’s death. Rather, we are interested in freeing
Nigeria from the hands of these few individuals who are presently holding the
country to ransom.”
Calling for the president
to resign from office, Fayose said: “Today is the 184th day of 2017. Out of
these 184 days, our President has spent 107 days abroad taking care of his
health.
“How does a nation move
forward when its President is spending the better part of his time abroad for
Medicare?
“For how long can Nigeria
and its people wait for a President who is incapacitated? For how long can our
people continue to suffer just because some people want to hold on to power at
all cost?
“That was the reason I
raised the issue of President Buhari’s age, health and mental capacity in 2015
and warned against electing President him.”
He added: “Nigerians should
be reminded that in 2010 when there was uncertainty over the health of the then
President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, President Buhari called on the National Assembly
to impeach Yar’Adua.
“The Minister of
Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who was the Spokesperson of the Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN) also said Nigerians should be briefed daily on
Yar’Adua’s health status. Lai Mohammed said then that ‘the health of the
President, as a public figure cannot be of interest only to his family and
friends. Nigerians have a right to know.’
“Just the same way
President Buhari asked the National Assembly to remove Yar’Adua in 2010; I am
also insisting that the President must be made to bow out of office so that
Nigeria and its people can be saved from this state of uncertainty.
“No doubt, it has been
argued that since Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is already functioning as Acting
President, President Buhari can be bedridden for as long as his illness last,
but the reality that Nigerians must accept is that the Acting President cannot
fully exercise the powers of the President.
“However, pending his
resignation, I am also aligning myself with what Lai Mohammed said in 2010 on
Yar’Adua’s health by demanding that he (Lai Mohammed) should begin a daily
briefing of Nigerians based on authentic details provided by the President’s
doctors.
“Nigeria belongs to all of
and its collective interest remains greater than those of any individual or
group and together, we must save Nigeria.”
